Co-Ownership Agreement (Shared Residence) — Digital (Self-Complete)

A co-ownership agreement for a shared residence in Ireland sets out how people who own and share a home will deal with costs, decisions and what happens if one of them wants to sell or move out. This is a digital, self-complete co-ownership agreement template for parties who own and share a residence, completed online. It is for co-owners with a straightforward arrangement who are comfortable entering the details themselves. No solicitor reviews your answers or the finished document at this price.

Without a written agreement, co-owners can end up in disagreement about who paid what, who can live in the property and how the proceeds of a sale should be divided. Putting terms in writing while everyone agrees can help avoid disputes later. If the arrangement is complex, for example with unequal contributions or a mortgage in one name, you may prefer a solicitor-handled option.
